There is a new issue of your beloved pixelized 
journal, 1000 Ridiculous Tragedies. There is 
also a new book, and a contest of sorts. Be 
sure to read the news section for more details 
on both. What follows is a previously unreleased
bonus track from the book announcement; which was
edited on our site, and is posted here, with 
specific alterations for the announcement list
format.

========================

BIRDS IN MID FLIGHT: THE FIRST BOOK 
PUBLISHED BY 1000 RIDICULOUS TRAGEDIES, 
WHICH IS A COLLECTION OF THE POETRY OF 
MR. SCOUT THOMPSON: FREQUENTLY ASKED 
QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS TITLE. 
[CONTINUED]

Q2. May I take it to the beach? 
A2. Yes!

Q3. To the mountains?
A3. Yes!

Q4. May I put it on my shelf so my children may take 
it down, open its dusty covers, and read about the 
world of my time, in a voice that says precisely my 
feelings in words far better than I could ever express?
A4. Yes, including at least two references to Weezer!

Q5. Where do I buy it?
A5. See the book section of one38.org. There are also 
new stories and pie charts.

Q6. Is Poetry dead?
A6. We think some kinds of poetry may, indeed, be dead. 
A poet goes extinct every day; with it goes thousands 
of pages, some of which may contain the cure for various 
life threatening diseases.

Q7. Maybe, then, we are losing pages that may spread 
deadly diseases, and losing poets who would spread 
rabies and dysentery, ruin our water, and eat our 
children?
A7. This is also true. 

Q8. Do you know of any such poets?
A8. I know of one. 

Q9. His poetry is a disease?
A9. A fever. 

Q10. Should we vaccinate!?
A10. There is no vaccination, but there is a weakness: 
He is vital because of his eyes. If you take out his 
eyes, there may not be more poetry. 

Q11. But his poetry is an epidemic!
A11. The epidemics strengthen our species!

Q12. Poetic Darwinism?
A12. Only the numb procreate.

Q13. This is getting kind of pretentious.
A13: As is the "talking reader" trick. 

Q14. Perhaps you could tell us a story of this poet? 
A14. He shook his fist at the taxi cabs for mocking his legs.

Q15. Does this mean he hated technology?
A15. No; but that he loved his legs. 

Q16. "."
A16. New Issue of 1000 Ridiculous Tragedies is
available, as always, at the following universal 
resource locator:
